Nikon AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D - Nikon F Mount

The Nikon AF Micro-Nikkor 60mm f/2.8D is a highly regarded macro lens capable of 1:1 life-size magnification without additional accessories. It is built to a high standard with a metal mount and a physical aperture ring, making it compatible with a wide range of Nikon film and digital bodies. Its flat field of focus and exceptional sharpness make it ideal for document copying, product photography, and general macro work, while the 60mm focal length also serves well for portraits. Check that the 'limit/full' switch operates correctly, as this is essential for managing focus speeds during macro work. SDS examines the glass for any signs of oil on the aperture blades, which can lead to slow exposures. As this is a 'D' series lens, it relies on a mechanical coupling for autofocus; users should ensure their camera body has an internal AF motor. The front element is deeply recessed, but the glass should still be checked for cleaning marks.
